Wtf I liked a lot of Foucalt’s takes, I guess it’s time to never buy a copy of Crime and Punishment

I can’t tell if this means they can’t respond with anything except the “” emote or if it means they can only respond with what it represents

I was (somewhat jokingly) referring to the whole “kill all kkkrakkkers” kind of posts as white on white racism

Making another post because I wonder if the sheer amount of white people doing it is because, unlike what reactionaries think, non-white comrades aren’t actually “reverse racist” against white people, and probably are genuinely uncomfortable with doing the bit. I might be wrong, I’m a white so I don’t know for sure.

It could also have something to do with the fact that statements of hatred against all white people is something that meets physical consequences in the real world for non-white people when they say it, so unlike white people who are able to say it without consequence, non-white comrades have to struggle past the ever-present implicit threat that white supremacy poses to make any such statement.

So these two things might be why we usually see “fuck all kkkrakkkers” type posts made by white people. It’s both a lot more awkward to jokingly deride a group you’re not a part of, and similar behavior is more likely to receive backlash by white supremacist forces IRL when it is done by non-white as opposed to white people (I only use “non-white” as a signifier here to denote between people with and without white privilege)

I agree, bits aren’t worth possibly turning our non-white comrades away if it comes acrosa as performative

Thank you

In a different context, like if you were sharing critiques of white supremacy (in person) with someone who is ignorant of them, I do think that would be a distraction from the point and likely to confuse.

Yeah, and I do have some faith, maybe misplaced, but some, that most people would immediately regard it as weird for someone to just constantly talk about how much they hate white people while someone else does serious analysis right in front of them.

can’t there be a middle ground between thin-skinned identification with mayoism and performative self-flaggelation

genuine theory-based understanding of white supremacy and an active willingness to not reaffirm and complete the self-flagellation rituals. this ironically means believing you’re One Of The Good Ones, but innately, instead of trying to affirm it. (This makes sense because I always got the impression the issue with “not all men” type statements was their implicit ignorance of what are social statements, not blanket statements, so the reason they’re annoying is because they’re technically true but in a way that misleads readers away from social analysis. I’m just some cracker but if you were to apply this same principle to this conversation it seems like saying “I hate white people” isn’t actually annoying in that way because it doesn’t draw attention away from societal issues, though it may be annoying in the sense that it’s a form of toxic self-harm that could spill over if you used in excess)

I think it’s more like it’s uncomfortable to just sit there and digest that you’re part of the Bad People, and say nothing about it, and then also say nothing about it when other people affirm that you’re part of the Bad People, so you sort of have to just passively sit there if you don’t join in on hating the Bad People as well (which is why people do it). I theorize white-on-white racism is a coping mechanism developed to prevent awareness of systemic racism from developing into a form of genuine self-hatred due to awareness of one’s own complicity in it. While normally the obvious solution would just be to stop being complicit in it, people are not very rational beings and might perceive themselves as still being complicit even when they actively aren’t, leading to continued usage of the “Death to All Crackers” shibboleth as a kind of OCD ritual to affirm oneself of their own purity in front of Communist God (ironically, an urge probably primarily spread and codified by white people). I do not mean this in a pop culture sense of OCD, I mean in the genuine sense of it being fuelled by a pure-O compulsion loop.

I always say that I hate white people as a sort of… Statement of disgust with the American and neurotypical culture around me, not really as an indictment of actual white people…

The fact that parts of that culture are innately part of my psyche fuels my hatred to new levels

Why would you want your daughter to live with someone who was so bad you kicked her out of the house over it?

I think the question is what the white people on this site are supposed to do if we take the stance that they are unable to be comrades. I am aware this might just be me saying this because I am a myself.

Is Wiener a prominent person?

It probably has less to do with being or not being a theater kid and more to do with whether or not someone finds musical scores to emphasize or detract from emotional moments

The politics of it so far seem great after watching the first episode, so far it’s basically about a high ranking member of a political underclass attempting to put together a peaceful reform of “the system”, but being shot down because higher classes have no interest in reform whatsoever. I get the impression that despite their idealistic outlook, Charlie might turn to genuinely revolutionary attitudes soon. Hopefully Vivziepop or whoever is writing it at this point has the courage to push the point home instead of using tried and true revolutionary-averse tropes.

100k a year… and homeless??? What the shit is going on with this country?

Most winter sports are pretty since white people are the only freaks who actually kinda like the cold.
